It’s taken a little while, we know. But we’re finally delivering the podcast version of the final episode of Radio Happy Hour. The truth is we’re just finally, two months later, recovering from the massive hangover from that show. It was great, and it was truly fantastic to see so many friends at the show to celebrate the show with us, and it warmed our nether-regions that so many past guests decided to come back and join us for the final shin dig.

The guests in this episode include Twin Sister, Mike Doughty, Franz Nicolay, Matt Pond PA, John & Molly Knefel, Arthur Phillips, Dave Hill, Max Silvestri, Gabe Liedman, Jessi Klein, Murray Hill, William Ocean, and more.

As always, you can take a listen on the player below, or you can head to the podcast section of the site, or you can get it for free through iTunes. Thanks for listening to the show of the last couple of years and caring about what we were doing. We’re going to miss it.

Listen: Episode #20

It’s an interview show that is only available online. You can check out the show at geocachersnyc.com. I’d explain the show, but I think it’s easier to just make you watch a couple of episodes.

Our friend Nick Diamonds went geocaching with Sam:

Icelandic indie-folk musician Ólöf Arnalds went geocaching too:

Episode #19 is a little episode we call “Selling Out.” See, it’s the penultimate episode of Radio Happy Hour, and we tried to make the show keep working by selling more ad space for the show. That didn’t really…well…you’ll see. We didn’t have room for a murder mystery because we sold the whole show to advertisers. No, don’t pity us, the real losers were our guests, who didn’t get to be accused of murder at all. Nonetheless we convinced Sun Airway, Hank & Cupcakes, and Jared Logan to sell out with us. And our pals John & Molly Knefel came along to do a little selling out of their own.

Listen: Radio Happy Hour presents “Selling Out”

You can listen to all the past episodes of Radio Happy Hour, featuring guests like Cursive, Jesse Eisenberg, Norah Jones, Michael Showalter, The Hold Steady, and more here or you can subscribe to the podcast for free at the iTunes Store. The crew in this episode features host Sam Osterhout, Matt Skibiak, Robin Reed, and music by Dustin Nelson.

About the Guests:
Sun Airway
Sun Airway don’t have a bio online, but that’s ok. Just trust us. They are awesome. They are also from Philly.

Hank & Cupcakes
Hailed by MTV for their “Fresh new sound” and Huffington Post as one of the “15 Musical Acts to Break in 2011”, this Brooklyn-based drums and bass duo pumps out edgy dance pop that bristles with sass and sexuality. Hank & Cupcakes spin vicious pop that is just as good for rocking out as it is for dancing. Cupcakes will make your jaw drop with her explosive, commanding voice while banging on the drums standing up! Hank on the bass takes care of the rest, covering so much territory that one critic observed “fans may find themselves scrutinizing the stage, looking in vain for the guitar player that seems to be filling out the band’s sound.”

Their self-titled debut EP, and new single HIT, recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Mark B. Christiansen (N.O.R.E., 50 Cent), is heating up at college and specialty radio stations with over 90 adds to date. Hank & Cupcakes have enough hooks to become a Top-40 radio hit, enough groove to keep the crowd moving at the discotheque, and enough personality to merit respect from the most pretentious of listeners. The Brooklyn duo are a two person Gogol Bordello and they will have you stomping across the aisles – This is a must see live show!

Jared Logan
Jared Logan’s contagiously giddy and cartoonish stand-up act has been wowing audiences across the country. Getting his start in Chicago, Logan recently relocated to New York City. He has appeared on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, TBS, and was a featured comic on collegehumor.com. He took home the award for Best Comedian at the Chicago Comedy Awards and won the Comedy Idol Competition in Detroit. In his free time, Logan acts as dungeon master for the best Dungeons &Dragons game in New York City.

John & Molly Knefel
John and Molly host a live stand up comedy show the last Wednesday of every month at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village. The show starts at 8, and there is never a cover. It’s awesome, go to it. They also host a podcast called Radio Dispatch. Listing to it. It’s awesome.

Everything about him, from his mustache to the old timey microphone he always uses fit the aesthetic of Radio Happy Hour perfectly. Our friends from Robotic Raptor Studios were around for this one and shot Franz singing a new song in the green room.

We had some friends like John & Molly Knefel, Sean Patton, Brett Tabisel, and Ali Wong join us for a proper murder mystery starring the full Radio Happy Hour crew. Watch all three acts of the murder mystery below.

Robin fell hopelessly in love with him, he played songs on piano that involved him pushing the piano across the floor and doing “Party Hard” a cappella (for a second), he had a whispering war with Sam, and acted in our tribute to John Hughes. How can you not love this guy. Also notable in the top video: Geoff Herbach. He was in the cast for the first three shows, and then was a guest when we were in Minneapolis, and he’s fantastic.
